We are elated to bring you Tha Carter V abum credits, tracklist and streams. The album was released via Young Money, Republic Records & Universal Music Group. Feel free to scroll down, but first a bit of background on the legend that is Lil Wayne.

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. burst on the scene almost 21 years ago as a member of the Hot Boys, a New Orleans quartet consisting of Wayne, B.G., Turk and Juvenile. The group's first album, "Get It How U Live!" would produce the charting single, 'We On Fire (Pt.1)' . Young Wayne would get his first solo track with Block Burner.

Group success would continue with their follow up album "Guerilla Warfare", which went platinum and produced the iconic twerk anthem, 'I Need A Hot Girl'. Jumping on Juvenile's smash single "Back That Azz Up" and B.G.'s "Bling, Bling" made Wayne's nasal high pitched voice a well known commodity in the rap game.

A 17 year old Wayne would release his debut album, "Tha Block Is Hot" in 99 reaching No. 3 on Billboard. The album would go on to garner Platinum certification. His next two albums, Light's Out and 500 Degrees both went gold but failed to reach the level of success of his first album.

In 2004 Wayne started the next phase of his career with the release of "Tha Carter". A new flow showcased Wayne's lyrical ability in a way that was never previously heard. He would go on one of the most unprecedented rolls in the history of music.

Wayne would continue to break the mold and reinvent the wheel and introduce the world to Aubrey Graham and Onika Maraj. He would foray into clothing, skating and more. "Tha Carter III" is arguably one of the most influential albums of the modern rap era.

Wayne addressed rumors of a release last week with a video in which he thanked his fans for sticking by his side the past few years and promising his album would indeed be released on his birthday, Sept. 27th.

"Tha Carter V" is Wayne's 12th studio album. He has released a slew of critically acclaimed mix tapes, compilations with his Young Money team. We're hyped and ready to give this a listen. Enjoy "Tha Carter V", let us know what you think of it in the comments and support your local music creators!
